Correct! Points on the board!

Same with the Invasive Bullfrogs.

Marvel specifically have made changes for Chinese releases and posters before. They also have enough sway to make John Cena apologize for calling Taiwan a country, leading to John Xina memes.

If they had a Chinese villain it would get banned in China. If it had a Chinese experiment go wrong and create a hero then it might get banned in China.

We’re discussing hypothetical outcomes, I doubt any one of the suggestions in this thread will have any real world impact but remaining silent would be stupid.

I’ll never, ever, have any sort of account on Windows 11. I would never have a workstation of my own dedicated to Windows 11. No cap, I would walk out on a job if that is what the job involved.

That’s less of a question and more of you stating an opinion.

Are you expecting me to defend the Trump Admin? It’s never too late so long as the IRGC holds power, but yes he’s made it a lot harder for us to accomplish positive change.

Great counter argument.

There are news stories of Gaddafi’s slave trade operations since like 1996, probably earlier.

Chinese aren’t real communists, they’re red fascists. They’ve got a more powerful oligarchy ruling class than the USA ever has.

Revolution does not always result in democracy, but democracy is still the best system for protecting health and happiness of the majority of people.

Libya now is still better off than Libya under Gaddafi.

Iranians were starving and being shot to death in the streets even before the war, continuing the war until the USA admits defeat will also lead to undue suffering. The only system of representing Iranian citizens is a democracy which is the furthest from their current organization.

The USA already doesn’t have a win condition, but the only way for longterm stability would be something like Iran getting EU membership which isn’t on the table. The solution with the least harm would be for the USA and other NATO allies to help the Iranians overthrow the despots and cut ties with China. The worst possible outcome is like 40% of Iranians die, Israel claims land, and the IRGC stays in power, which is pretty close to your idea of the best outcome.

Fuck China, threat to human life on earth

Wait until ABC finds out where all of Iran’s guns and munitions are made.

When people talk about “the media” they generally talk about the news broadcasts and talkshows which are extremely varied in opinions from John Oliver to Craig Melvin to Tucker Carlson. You even get some of them praising Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, or anti-democracy advocates, such as Tucker Carlson.

Mergers and monopolies are a big issue, but to imply the CIA is running Fox News is pretty ludicrous. If anything it wouldn’t surprise me if the Murdoch family had a 10 point plan on toppling the US Government.
